Sassy, streetwise Sammy is a teenage girl who is falling through the cracks. Neglected by an alcoholic mother, the problems she endures at school and home lead her into the hands of adults who don’t have her best interests in mind. Failed by them at every turn, Sammy acts out, seeking attention from boys, then men, when what she wants most is protection.Meanwhile, in a small village in Eastern Europe, preternaturally beautiful and naïve Nico is about to turn thirteen and as her family falls upon desperate times, her father is approached to marry her off. Her family knows that the nice life this stranger seems to be offering Nico is too good to be true, but they and Nico hope for the best as she’s shuttled across the border into Ireland, where she and Sammy find one another in their new home, a suburban brothel.As Nico and Sammy journey into this dark underbelly and out the other side, their friendship—and the unexpected acts of kindness they give and receive—form a potent bond.Heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful, Cloud Girls exposes the failings of polite society and the cruelty that exists beneath its surface, yet reminds us that goodness and love can flourish in the darkest times.

Brief Summary Cloud Girls by Lisa Harding

“Cloud Girls” is a tough novel to review. Two teenage girls, one from middle-class Ireland and the other from a poor village in Moldova, fall prey to traffickers and end up sharing a room in a brothel. It’s not a fun read, though it is a fast one, and beautifully written—at times too beautifully. Having Sammy and Nico each wax lyrical about clouds and floating in similar terms, despite their radical differences in education and experience, allows the symbolism to overrun each character’s distinctive voice and viewpoint.I also felt that too much time was spent on Sammy’s wanderings in the beginning. I understand why it was done, for the sake of giving her story equal weight to Nico’s, but on occasion it felt like treading water. And maybe the ping-ponging back and forth between Sammy and Nico in the beginning could have been handled more fluidly.
